in thinking certain AIBU titles could be better?

[Aribura]

Namely ones like these:

"...or is she?"
"...about this?"
"...to think this?"

Or God forbid one I saw today, literally entitled "AIBU?"

Let's save all of us time and trouble by writing at least a hint of what the thread is about: attracting people who have advice and saving those who don't the trouble of clicking. Even a short and sweet "re: MIL behaviour?" is better than the dreaded "or is she?" Doesn't majorly piss me off or anything, but just a thought.

AIBU? (Or is she? )

YANBU. I don't know why people do it but more importantly I don't know why I open those threads!

Don't be so grumpy

YANBU!

I keep re-opening the shit thread by mistake cos the title make me forget what they're about.

yeah

I don't like the ones which start with "That", because they are usually along the lines of

"...that black isn't a colour?"
"...that DH should put the bins out!"

If you put that together, it wouldn't make sense!

Am I being unreasonable that black isn't a colour? ISN'T A REAL SENTENCE!
Am I being unreasonable that DH should put the bins out! ALSO MAKES NO GRAMMATICAL SENSE!

Please, just two little extra words. "To think that". Please?

Okay, there are no "that" titles currently on the first page but they come up all the time, I promise! (And now you won't be able to un-notice them and they will annoy you too )

Yanbu

Just replied on one where the title had nothing to do with the story.

Good old pedants.

Yabu. people should write what they want. All these secret rules suck.

Fair enough. Feel free to start a thread entitled "AIBU" and continuining within "in thinking Aribura is a picky bitch" because I will never click on it to read it.

Gutted.

I secretly agree.

I don't think it makes any difference at all what the title is. There was one recently where the OP'd accidently put her MN nickname as the title and it ran to a couple of hundred posts I think.

Agree with pictish, people can write what they want.

How people word the thread doesn't register as something for me to put too much thought into really.

I rather more hate threads in AIBU that obviously aren't AIBU questions. I know that people do it to get more traffic but, for me, it kinda disrupts the flow of the whole section.

I think about 15 or 20 of us should start threads with AIBU as the title

That'll cause a bit of confusion

*how people word the thread title

Worra you would gets loads, I would get my own sad OP.

To be fair it's not difficult to confuse me LR

Watch me getting my arse roasted

Ooooh.

Don't think I haven't noticed. shakes fist
